‘<b>Haj subsidy unIslamic, use that money on our education, health’</b><!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin--><i>Leaders, from Jamiat-e-Hind chief to Law Board member, say subsidy must end, it’s vote-bank politics </i>
NEW DELHI, NOVEMBER 16: At a time when even the Prime Minister is emphasising that Muslims need to be given greater access to modern education to remove their social backwardness, several Muslim intellectuals, religious scholars and leaders are suggesting that the Government scrap the Haj subsidy and spend the money instead on schools, healthcare and other basic infrastructure for the welfare of the community. <b>Some even describe the subsidy as “vote-bank politics” and say it’s unIslamic to undertake any obligation during Haj.</b>

Demanding an end to the subsidy, Maulana Mehmood Madani, Rajya Sabha member and general secretary of the Jamiat-e-Ulema-e-Hind, says<b> “It is against the Shariat to be under any kind of obligation while undertaking Haj. According to the Quran, only those Muslims who can afford the expenses should perform Haj. It’s recommended only for adult, financially able and sane Muslims.” </b>

Others like S Q R Ilyas, convenor of the Babri Masjid Committee and a senior member of the All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB), call the Haj subsidy<b> “a sop to gain political mileage.”</b>............
